TSP Torquer Cam
Anyone running this with stock heads? I was going to get a 228/228 .588/.588 with a 112lsa for some choppity chop. But I'm getting steered to the Torquer 231/234 .595/.598 112 lsa. After its all said and done with my SS I will have the following power mods:
Kooks LTs and catted y
ASP crank pulley
cam/double springs
LS6 intake(maybe)
I really don't think that a bigger cam automatically means better. My SS is a daily driver to work an back on the interstate mostly. Alittle street play on weekends. I have heard that a 228 cam works best for the M6 so I am apprehensive on going to bigger cam. If it's worth it and all.
ThanksLast edited by Huskerz1; 05-17-2006 at 11:10 AM.

I have a cam about like the one your talking about. It has a choppy idle and I have all the supporting mods minus the LS6 intake. I love it! I drove mine everyday up till the last few months when I started driving my 69 FOrd. No need to keep racking up miles when I had something else to drive.

I am about 75% sure I will go with the Torquer. Probably not the chromolly push rods tho. I have been told since I have an M6 that it would be best to stick with stock push rods. In case I miss a shift it would be better to bend a push rod instead of a valve. Sounds like good advice being that I have missed a shift once or twice. Oh how I hate that feeling.
Big D, what kinda rwhp are you throwin down? What can I expect with the above power mods. I already have a lid, K&N, LM2. I would like to achieve 400rwhp n/a.Last edited by Huskerz1; 05-17-2006 at 11:25 AM.

I don't know how many miles you ahve on your car, but I think I will see about 380 or so rwhp when I get done. My car has about 98k on the clock. So not too bad.

It's a PRC(Percision Racing)double spring kit that I can get with the cam. It includes titanium retainers, seals, and chromolly pushrods. Springs are rated to lift .660 They should last a while. I guess I'll go with the hardened pushrods.
nhraformula, why the 228/228 cam? Just want to know your reasoning.

Huskerz....you are putting too much spring over that cam.
If you are under .600 lift...run Comp 918's. Make sure to heat cycle them a couple times before stepping on the loud pedal.

Well wait a sec. With that spring I should get alot of reliable miles don't you think? Is it too stiff? If I go with a 228 cam then I can see 918s but still isn't it a little close on lift?

If you have alot of miles you might not want a big cam. If you buy a cam that you need to rev to 6800 to get the most out of it, your stock bottom end might not live a very long life. Just something to consider....

I'm running the COmp 918 springs on my 232/234 595/598 on a 112 LSA. I checked around and with the supporting mods (p/r's, springs, retainers, and locks) no problems and I have had it in for about 7 months and 10k miles. It is close but the springs are good for .600 lift.

I would probably have done it with the 918's looking back.
New cam....I need duals.
